Question

Imagine a symbolic representation of four diverse groups during the Yuan dynasty period. First, depict a group of Asian scholars, both men and women, all bearing signs of erudition, such as resting near a collection of scrolls. Second, portray a mix of prosperous Asian merchants, both men and women with signs of wealth including silk robes and abacus. Thirdly, visualize northern Chinese nobles, women and men alike sporting typical attires of nobility and wealth. Lastly, show Turks and other Muslims, individuals of various genders, each wearing an attire typical of their cultural background. There is no hierarchy implied in this depiction; each group is illustrated with their unique identity.
